Thanks to the worst President and Administration in history, neo-Nazi left wing trolls, and ignorant, frightened toad-like humans, we have allowed Covid to throw a wrench into every industry- especially food processing–ranging from plant closures due to outbreaks and now government overreach with vaccine mandates.
The vaccine mandates in processing plants are not discussed at all, most likely due to the contempt our ruling class (the Coastal Elite, laptop-home office liberals) has for rural, working-class Americans. The current situation with mandates is from multiple fronts: USDA inspectors and the factory workers. For context, USDA inspectors are federal employees that are paid for by processing plants and necessary for operation- without them these plants cannot run due to federal law.
Currently, there is a large shortage of inspectors. There are roughly 6,500 inspectors nationwide across all meat processing industries, with a roughly 500-700 inspector shortage. Plants have been running into issues with these inspectors being stretched thin already.
The inspector for a typical Midwest plant is responsible for 3 total plants normally, but currently they may be inspecting 9 total plants at the same time. This is dangerous for both the wellbeing of the inspector, but most importantly the quality of the food produced.
Biden’s USDA is covering up their shortage. On their jobs page, they list a measly 57 openings for inspectors. They cover this up by only listing their positions for a week or two at a time to prevent people from realizing this dire shortage.
These inspectors have received a memo stating that they have until Friday, Nov. 19 to get vaccinated (despite the actual deadline being Dec. 4). The problem is that a sizable plurality of inspectors refuse to be bend to government vaccine mandates (roughly 25-35%). If upwards of 35% of inspectors are fired come Dec. 4, we are looking at roughly 2,200 inspectors nationwide disappearing. This will be catastrophic.
If a plant is stretched thin on quality assurance personnel to protect the quality of meat, that will lead to a complete shutdown of these plants until they can be fully staffed. We are looking at this being compounded with the inspector shortage.
If this happens, many plants will not be able to run. Meaning, no meat in the store and no food for children in public schools. Some of the biggest customers are public schools and prisons, as well as national chains.
This could result in children becoming malnourished at schools, as well as families having a very hard time putting food on the table. Now, how bad is the current situation, pre-mandate?
Some plant managers have already had to jump on the line and help produce chicken/beef/pork due to lack of employees. This isn’t due to low pay or benefits- they stand as a beacon of hope and stability in the community. They value their workers but are on the verge of losing it all.
It gets crazier…at major Midwest plants, top level corporate is already discussing sending corporate managers, including the CEO, to help relieve the already damaging constraints by working on the line with everyone else. Think about this.
For many reasons, many plants find themselves where only 25% of the plant is vaccinated, meaning the company will be forced to give weekly testing for all their locations, which will cost hundreds of thousands per year, or fire their hard-working employees. Across rural America, a shut down will be the final nail in the coffin of these towns and a total collapse of the food supply. This is exacerbated by the fact that these employees oftentimes have no other skills besides working in food processing. Without this job, they won’t be able to feed their families and the towns they live in will die.
We are looking at a multi-dimensional planned disaster: people losing their jobs, food processing being destroyed and risking famine, and the total decimation of rural communities who rely on these jobs to support their families. It is completely avoidable, but Coastal Elites apparently want this.
Most people do not hear about food processing plants. This is a huge blindside to the American consumer who may soon not be able to get any meat at all, let alone hyper-inflated priced meat.
We are facing a total disaster. If the mandate goes into effect, we are looking at hundreds of thousands of families losing their livelihoods and millions of people becoming malnourished.
Doesn’t anyone in this country realize that we are now a socialist third-world tin-pot dictatorship where nothing works and inflation is rampant as the money becomes worthless, like in the failed Weimar Republic that put Hitler into power, and the economy and quality of life crumble and deteriorate!
Bring Back Trump! We didn’t have these problems when he was President!
The preacher man says it’s the end of time
And the Mississippi River she’s a-goin’ dry
The interest is up and the Stock Market’s down
And you only get mugged if you go downtown
I live back in the woods, you see
My woman and the kids, and the dogs, and me
I got a shotgun, a rifle, and a 4-wheel drive
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
I can plow a field all day long
I can catch catfish from dusk ’til dawn
We make our own whiskey and our own smoke, too
Ain’t too many things these old boys can’t do
We grow good old tomatoes and homemade wine
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
Because you can’t starve us out
And you can’t make us run
‘Cause we’re them old boys raised on shotgun
And we say “grace” and we say “Ma’am”
And if you ain’t into that we don’t give a damn
We came from the West Virginia coal mines
And the Rocky Mountains and the western skies
And we can skin a buck; we can run a trotline
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
I had a good friend in New York City
He never called me by my name, just hillbilly
My grandpa taught me how to live off the land
And his taught him to be a businessman
He used to send me pictures of the Broadway nights
And I’d send him some homemade wine
But he was killed by a man with a switchblade knife
For 43 dollars my friend lost his life
I’d love to spit some beech nut in that dude’s eyes
And shoot him with my old .45
‘Cause a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
‘Cause you can’t starve us out and you can’t make us run
‘Cause we’re them old boys raised on shotgun
And we say “grace” and we say “Ma’am”
And if you ain’t into that we don’t give a damn
We’re from North California and South Alabama
And little towns all around this land
And we can skin a buck; we can run a trotline
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
Country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
“The vaccine mandates in processing plants are not discussed at all, most likely due to the contempt our ruling class (the Coastal Elite, laptop-home office liberals) has for rural, working-class Americans.”
I am not ruling class but I am a laptop home office liberal (well, sort of, the liberals dispute this, but in this crowd, I am one). I have contempt for the morons who think they can evaluate risk/reward in terms on vaccines better then immunologists, doctors, you know, actual experts. I also have contempt for the right wing leadership who weaponized irrational virus fears in order to get votes.
You are a long, long ways from home.
Ah, Sorin, I truly love it when you get up a head of steam in here and get on a good roll.
This is some good stuff you are producing here.
A lot of drama.
Drama is good!
Keeps people entertained and makes them feel good about themselves.
That is important, Sorin, a real public service on your part.
Right wing leadership who weaponized irrational virus fears in order to get votes?
Are you referring to the Legion of the Archangel Michael?
I heard something about that, but I bet you know a lot more.
Shameful, wasn’t it?
Sorin, since you have contempt for the morons who think they can evaluate risk/reward in terms on vaccines better then immunologists, doctors, you know, actual experts, what about all those people who got hooked on opioids because BIG PHARM, who we all should pray to every morning in supplication and thankfulness that they love us enough to work so hard as they do, thanklessly, and without hope of reward, doing this out of the goodness of their hearts, and doctors, you know, actual experts as opposed to fake experts, told them they were the greatest thing ever?
What’s your feelings towards them?
Good people because they followed their doctor’s orders?
Do you respect them for that – being GOOD AMERICANJS by doing what BIG PHARM and their doctors ordered them to do?
You been keeping up with the news?
Did you catch that bit about Walgreens and Walmart being held liable for opioid epidemic in civil case when on Tuesday, a federal jury found that pharmacy chains CVS Health Corp, Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. and Walmart Inc. helped fuel the opioid epidemic in two Ohio counties, per Reuters?
And hey, aren’t they the experts that you want us to rely on, along with the TV doctor Fauci?
Nothing but the truth from them, right?
Just like the opioids case.
You are THE DUDE, for certain, Sorin, what with all the contempt you have for the morons who think they can evaluate risk/reward in terms on vaccines better then immunologists, doctors, you know, actual experts, and the right wing leadership who weaponized irrational virus fears in order to get votes, whoever on earth they may be.
So, let us go to the experts you rely on, Fauci, the TV doctor, and his crowd, to see what they are telling us about these miracle vaccines you are pushing.
Let’s go to a CNBC article entitled “‘Vaccinated, recovered or dead’: Germany gives stark winter warning to its people” by Holly Ellyatt on November 23, 2021, where we have as follows, to wit:
“Because of the current situation in Germany, even fully vaccinated travelers may be at risk for getting and spreading Covid-19 variants,” the CDC warned.
end quotes
What’s up with that, Sorin?
Isn’t that akin to saying that if you really, really, really want to be safe, in addition to getting the initial vaccine shots, and the weekly, soon-to-be-daily booster shots, you should also wear a good haz-mat suit whether in your own home alone or out in public?
And what about this from your beloved Fauci (do you pray o him each evening in place of God – now I lay me down to sleep, I pray to Tony Fauci my soul to keep), to wit:
CDC
“Possibility of COVID-19 Illness after Vaccination”
Updated Nov. 9, 2021
However, since vaccines are not 100% effective at preventing infection, some people who are fully vaccinated will still get COVID-19.
An infection of a fully vaccinated person is referred to as a “vaccine breakthrough infection.”
end quotes
Is that why Amazon is now selling hazmat suits, do you think, because everybody knows this horse piss called vaccines is worthless, like a sugar pill?
Says the man who no doubt got his shot…
Of course Sorin got his shot.
I didn’t.
“Actually, I don’t know that and neither do you.”
Actually I do. I have personal friends who are doctors and if there is one thing that comes from 95 of doctors is “take the gif damn shot”. The ones that got fired for refusing the vaccine are an extremely small minority and are almost never doctors. By the way, I am glad they got fired, they have no business being in that field if they don’t believe in science. I certainly would not want to be treated by one.
Sorin, let me say that you always make my day!
You are a hoot and then some, and in these grim days as Joe Biden melts down the American economy and destroys the nation so he can BUILD IT BACK BETTER using good ideas about how to run an economy and a nation from experts in Africa and South America, we need someone like you to lighten up the grim mood as older people in the cold country look forward to freezing to death this winter because they can’t afford to heat their houses, if even for only the briefest of moments.
And do you really think, Sorin, that almost but not quite 100% of the doctors in a FOR PROFIT HEALTH EXPLOITATION SYSTEM where the pills they peddle equate to increased stock portfolio values would do anything other than tell you to take the pill or get the shot, knowing it is money in the bank for them if they can get enough suckers like you to take their advice?
T’were doctors who got all those other suckers, hooked on opioids, nu a fost?
“Take the pill., c’mon, man, open up and take the damn pill, really, it’s good for you, and hey, I know, because I take the **** myself and I tell you, it’ll put lead in your pencil like nothing else will, so take the damn pill and quit being obstinate about it, because I’ve got a payment due on the BMW and the wife wants to go to Aruba for the holidays!”
“If people are vaccinated and wear their masks, there’s no need for lockdowns,” Biden said at a press conference Monday.
So, Sorin, if Brandon is telling you that you have to wear a mask to be safe even though you have been supposedly “vaccinated,” then what is that telling you about the vaccine if you still have to wear a mask to be safe?
Work that math for us, if you can.
Isn’t Brandon telling us with that statement that this horse piss Fauci the TV doctor is peddling is worthless?
Elsewise, why need the mask?
Help us see what it is I am clearly missing here.
I’m one of the ones Sorin has contempt for, because I think for myself and do not believe BIG PHARM and the for-profit medical profession have my best interests at heart with the **** they peddle, like opioids.
You do know that most of the doctors , scientists and pharma executives are vaccinated right?
Actually, I don’t know that and neither do you.
It is something you desperately want to believe, and apparently have a psychological need to believe to validate your own self and your firm belief that BIG PHARM loves you above all and works 24/7/365 just for you, because it loves you, and wants to get you hooked on the **** it peddles so it has you as a customer for life, taking a pill in the morning to make you tall, and a pill in the evening to make you small and a pill to make your soldier stand at attention and another to have him stand at ease, and a couple of more pills to counteract all the various side effects.
What I do know is that a lot of doctors and nurses have either quit or filed lawsuits against the vaccine mandates, and that is based on inside information, because they are the experts and would be the first to know this vaccine **** is not good for you.

While the Dow advanced, it underperformed its peers with pressure from Merck & Co Inc, which closed down 5.4%.
The drugmaker extended losses from Friday when updated data from a study of its experimental COVID-19 pill showed lower efficacy in reducing risk of hospitalization and deaths than previously reported.
After the U.S. market close, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said everyone aged 18 years and older should get boosters six months after Pfizer or Moderna COVID vaccines or two months after a Johnson & Johnson shot.
Moderna rose 11.8% on the day, while Pfizer fell almost 3% and Johnson & Johnson rose 0.34%.

While the Food and Drug Administration said it hopes to have information about the effectiveness of current COVID-19 vaccines against Omicron, vaccine companies were divided.
BioNTech’s chief executive said the vaccine his company supplies in partnership with Pfizer will likely offer strong protection from severe illness in variant cases.
But Moderna Inc’s CEO told the Financial Times that COVID-19 shots are unlikely to be as effective against the new variant as they have been previously.
Moderna shares fell 4.4% while Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc lost 2.7% after it said its COVID-19 antibody treatment and other similar drugs could be less effective against Omicron.

Yes, Sorin why did these vile vermin, the Democrats make all the statements in the article above, stirring fear and anxiety over the TRUMP vaccine?
Because, as I’ve said for years Democrats- the party of slavery an death-love to see Americans suffer, and exalt in the deaths of Americans.
Always have, always will.
“Because, as I’ve said for years Democrats- the party of slavery a death-love to see Americans suffer, and exalt in the deaths of Americans.
Always have, always will.”
While obviously, Democrats were guilty of the same thing at first, at least they are on the correct side of the … fence now.
A conservative knows that each man or woman is capable of succeeding, or FAILING on his or her own merits.
A liberal KNOWS that minorities are incapable of success WITHOUT the guiding hand of the liberals themselves.
Who’s on the right side of history Sorin?
Dat’s right, wear that hood. Always have, and you lefty’s always will.
“A liberal KNOWS that minorities are incapable of success WITHOUT the guiding hand of the liberals themselves.”
What does this have to do with vaccine mandates?
But since you brought it up, I’ve never been a fan of “affirmative action” or similar programs. However, it’s much easier to succeed when you are not stuck in a vicious circle or poverty, oppression, discrimination and crime. School should be free to anyone who wants to study. Access to medical care should be free. All of this should be paid by the government from taxes, which yes are going to be higher. It’s not communism it’s common sense. A more educated and healthy population is likely to be more successful. Obviously the people who want to keep the poor poor would oppose this.
Sorin says: Access to medical care should be free.
And here I agree with you, Sorin.
Personally, I think it is obscene to profit off the miseries of another the way the medical profession profits off sick people in this country who never ever seem to get well because this FOR PROFIT HEALTHCARE EXPLOITATION system we have in this country to enrich the stockholders of the big healthcare corporations do not exist to make people well.
They exist to make money, and they do that by exploiting people, especially the ignorant who don’t know better.
I’m curious as to how all your friends in the medical profession telling you to take the pill or get the shot feel about a free healthcare system.
And only a fool or those who exploit their ill health and ignorance would argue against the proposition that a more educated and healthy population is likely to be more successful.
Access to YOUR services should be free, Sorin. Tell me what you do, then I want you to come do it for me, for free. M’kay?
PUBLIC schools are FREE. Choosing to disrupt, not attend or deal drugs or join gangs are just that, CHOICES. Ya know, people can STUDY instead of making excuses. Amazing how may generations diode just that, before the vermin got ahold of the educational system.
Sorin, Sorin Sorin. You racists are the ones whose policies are keeping people down. PRIOR to the vermin taking power, the systems you spoke of worked well. THEN the left touched them, and as we all know everything the left touches turns to sh it.
So, when can I expect you to perform your free services?
This is AMERICA, Sorin, not some third-world ****hole country over there in Europe where people can keep the poor poor.
In America, ANYBODY who wants to WORK their way out of poverty can do it, IF they WORK, as opposed to sitting around on their dead asses waiting for the next gummint payment for having a bunch of kids comes in.
And please don’t hand me this horse**** that you have to be white to do that, because I know plenty of people who aren’t white who got off their asses and IMPROVED THEMSELVES by working to improve themselves, instead of saying that was the job of government to do that for them.
What happens to a nation when the gummint dole is the sole means of support many families have, because that is the lifestyle they chose.
From those who have because they worked for it to those who want, but don’t want to work for it, but have it handed to them, instead, because they are special, entitled and privileged and loved by Joe Biden.
What future does that bode for us, pray tell?
Cuba?
Venezuela?
The Soviet Union?
America’s ‘shameful’ past hast lead to the creation of a nation that over half the world would move to, if they could….and that none of it’s critics will leave, even though they can.
Funk Joe Biden, the dixie-rat party and each and every one of you that voted for them.
“I’m curious as to how all your friends in the medical profession telling you to take the pill or get the shot feel about a free healthcare system.”
Most of the doctors I know personally support a single payer or public option system. According to this, the majority of doctors do.
I am not surprised some doctors oppose it, many would probably negatively affected by such a change.

Buwahahahahahahahaha
A poll of 2500 HEALTHCARE workers, not doctors.
Most of whom have been influenced by leftist filth to hate effort, ethics and tradition so I’m not surprised they are innumerate also.
So tell me, when will I be availing myself of your FREE services, Comrade Varazu?
Not so quick to offer YOUR services gratis, only doctors eh comrade?
Sorin, I just heard three items of interest on the radio news up this way:
1) Not surprisingly, we now have a confirmed case of the omicron variant in the US;
2) And again, not surprisingly, the infected person, the carrier of the dreaded disease, was one of those who were vaccinated;
3) And then your hero the TV doctor Fauci came on the news, doing his usual hand wringing and whining and mewling as he does, which turns me right off, given it makes him sound so weak, and then he made this ridiculous statement in the face of the fact that the infected person is vaccinated – “TO PROTECT YOURSELF AGAINST THE OMICRON VARIANT, GET VACCINATED!”
You think the dude might have some cognitive issues, Sorin?
An inability to connect facts and draw rational conclusions such as if vaccinated people are coming down with the omicron variant, then getting vaccinated isn’t going to protect you from getting the omicron variant?
How are you spinning that?
You think Fauci’s brain has turned to pulp – a brain on too many drugs so it looks like a fried egg?
ACHTUNG! ACHTUNG! ACHTUNG!
If it has been more than 24 hours since your last COVID booster, to remain safe, please have it renewed right now, and to be really safe, wear your HAZMAT suit and stay away from people who are vaccinated:

“CDC confirms first U.S. case of omicron Covid variant has been detected in California”
Spencer Kimball, Dawn Kopecki and KI; Jessica Bursztynsky
Dec. 1, 2021
The CDC said Wednesday it has confirmed the first U.S. case of the new, heavily mutated coronavirus variant called omicron, which was detected in Northern California.
White House chief medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci said the patient, who was fully vaccinated, had just returned to the San Francisco area Nov. 22 after traveling in South Africa and tested positive Nov. 29.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom cautioned residents on Twitter, saying, “There’s no reason to panic — but we should remain vigilant.”
“That means get vaccinated.”
“Get boosted.”
“Wear a mask indoors.”
At a press briefing Wednesday afternoon, Newsom said the patient is between 18 and 49 and had not received a booster shot because they were not six months out from their original vaccination course.
And it is interesting how this plague is hitting during the reign of the crackpot emperor Joe Biden.
Some kind of message in there for sure.
